did you leave it on the trailer at the ramp (but in the water) and let it run while your head was in there?

Did you check around the head to see if any water was dripping out? (Gasket on backwards?)

Just some ideas.

Could it be coming from the water intake manifold (attached to the exhaust manifold)??

Ahhhhh----Here is a good one to look for-----Did you remember to hook up the small water hose that goes underneith the biggest portion of your exhaust pipe in front of head #1 (the tiny hose that runs from cylinder #1 to the center portion of exhaust pipe)???

Duckbills leak. They are great for removing water in a hurry, but in general, if you sit around more than a minute or two, expect some water. Keep them well greased, and give them a regular exam to check for zipties, etc...

INTERESTING!!! I was sitting for about the last 30-40 minutes because my friend still had gas (silly stock skis... lol... ) I was on the buzzer so I just sat there and wathced and relaxed. I may have picked up some (a lot) of water???

I will keep a close eye on that when I let her sit in the water tomorrow.

If that's the case what about adding a second pump? I see that there's not a way for some of the water that gets infront of the wall under the battery tray to get removed... That's were the build up is. I wander if it comes in and then get pumped out everything EXCEPT what can't get back to the rear of the boat where the pump and duckbills are...

Again, thanks for the info... it get my mind turning. I'm sure I'll get this figured out soon!
